Where do I enter/change settings? [#1239542]

When I go to the front page admin page this is what I see: https://img.skitch.com/20110804-kygy4yrqgwsda752ctscq3s765.png

The documentation says I'm supposed to go to a page called "Advanced Front Page Settings" which I don't have. I just have a menu item for "Front Page" and these are the settings. Nowhere to enter code, nowhere to configure who sees what ... I'm a bit confused.

That is the correct config page. Thanks for pointing out I need to update the documentation. To enable the redirect for certain roles you must first enable permission for that role. Go to permissions and enable the "access frontpage" permission for each of the roles you want to perform actions on for the front page.

Cheers,

Okay - so I enabled the permissions and now see separate settings pages for anonymous and authenticated users. I set both to "redirect" and set the authenticated users to 'user-home' and anonymous users to 'splash' (both pages on my site).

So I don't think I am quite understanding this still. I don't need to enter code for the page - the pages I want to use for different roles already exist on my site. The redirect settings says it only works for users who are already logged in.

So I'm not sure how to configure it to:
If users are logged in show page A as homepage
If users are anonymous show page B as homepage

Any ideas?

The information at admin/settings/front is incorrect. 'redirect' (and the other options as well) will work for any user, anonymous or otherwise. Just be sure to "Activate your front_page settings" by entering "front_page" in the appropriate field.

Updating this issue to "Bug Report" to get the UI (perhaps also the docs?) changed.
